A large decal featuring action images of some of the club’s leading footballers has been applied to one of its Rolls-Royce Trent 900-powered A380s (A6-EUW).

Emirates says that the decal was created to mark today’s A380 flight by Real Madrid between the Spanish capital and Abu Dhabi. The team is travelling to the UAE city in their capacity as European champions where they will compete with club champions from other continents.
